Sassy's Zanibar
Bouncer is designed to be the perfect way for baby and mom to relax. The
Zanzibar bouncer features a three-point harness to keep baby secure
while he or she enjoys being nestled in his/her bouncer. The bouncer has
an adjustable and removable head rest to provide extra support for
newborns and infants. It has ON/OFF switch and volume control for 5
melodies, 3 soothing sounds, and 5 calming vibration modes. The
removable toy bar with detachable toys includes an elephant that
squeaks, a zebra that rattles and an alligator that crinkles.
INDIVIDUAL CATEGORY RATINGS
|
As usual, we handed the bouncey-seat
over to the "Dads" and got out of the way. And
happily, within just a few minutes time all were set-up
and ready to go. No blood, a little sweat, but no
tears! Keeping Dads happy is almost as important
as keeping little ones happy!
From there, simply place your little
one in the seat, buckle the three-point harness and
choose a melody, sound or one of five vibration modes.
Easy-squeezy for sure! |

Overall, we saw no major performance
malfunctions, but unfortunately we just couldn't give
all five stars for durability simply because of the
cleaning factor. Newborns and infants tend to poop
allot - and this was a certainty with our babies.
The only issue was in clean-up of these little messes.
Some were able to spot-clean, in other cases we had to
fully wash the seat. And inevitably, like all
products prone to baby poop, you'll see some
wear/breakdown/staining over time. No major
durability issues - just a standard concern for
something like a bouncey-seat! |

The Zanzibar Bouncer tends to fall
into a little more of the conservative or simple style.
For some parents/babies that is the perfect look...while
others may prefer something brighter and bolder.
Strictly a personal choice, yet we definitely liked the
look of the Zanzibar Bouncer. |

|
The Zanzibar Bouncer has all of the
functionality one could hope for in a bouncey-seat.
First off - it bounces! Then Sassy found it wise
to add in such a wide variety of sounds and songs, and a
multitude of vibration settings to keep baby comfortable
and happy. And we couldn't agree more with their
decision! |
|
|
No big shocker, but the parents we
spoke with would have liked the bouncey-seat to be just
a bit less price-wise. In a blind survey, they
priced the unit somewhere between $35 and $40.
With an actual retail price of just under $50, the
Zanzibar Bouncer does tend to hit the top end of the
price range for bouncers. |
|
|
Obviously, bouncey-seats are nothing
new. We do like some of the improvements that
Sassy Baby added to this one - including the wide
variety of sounds and vibration options, the removable
play-bar is a big plus, and the "jungle-themed" style. |
|
|
Overall, the Zanzibar Bouncer
was definitely a hit with us! It is a
comfortable, safe place to place your little one,
that will last longer than you'll actually need it.
The jungle style is fun, and the unit is loaded with
functionality thanks to the variety of sounds and
vibration features. Pricing was obviously a
bit more that we would have liked, but that wouldn't
be the first time we've ever said that! If you
are in the market for a new bouncey-seat, take a
look at the Zanzibar Bouncer - it won't disappoint. |
